The US, formerly 13 British colonies, began with the premise that they no longer wished to be subject to British rule, and beyond that, they had to figure out the remaining details, which is what the constitution is about. The most divisive issue at the time was slavery, which was practiced in some states but not in others, and that arrangement was written into the constitution, although less than a century later, there was a civil war and the constitution was amended to eliminate slavery. The US in the late 18th century, when the constitution was written, was still in the early phase of expanding westward toward the Pacific, and was in a state of social and political ferment.

Why did the Framers of the Constitution create a mechanism for amending the Constitution but then make it very difficult to make any changes?
They knew that people were going to change, and that the Constitution had to change with them. In order to be a working document, it had to be changed to reflect what was going on -- they knew, for instance, that slavery was someday going to be abolished, but they knew it was going to be for several generations. However, they wanted the amendment process to be difficult, so that the Constitution wasn't changed by people's fleeting whims. In other words, they made the process difficult so that 'popular passions' wouldn't alter the Constitution.
